“Creativity itself doesn't care at all about results - the only thing it craves is the process. Learn to love the process and let whatever happens next happen, without fussing too much about it. Work like a monk, or a mule, or some other representative metaphor for diligence. Love the work. Destiny will do what it wants with you, regardless.” WantHappensCareNextProcessResultsCreativityDestinyToo MuchMetaphorRepresentativesMonkCraveDiligenceWhatever HappensMulesFussing Author:Elizabeth Gilbert
“A nap is not to be confused with sleeping. We sleep to recharge our bodies. We nap to care for our souls. When we nap, we are resting our eyes while our imaginations soar. Getting ready for the next round. Sorting, sifting, separating the profound from the profane, the possible from the improbable. Rehearsing our acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize, our surprise on receiving the MacArthur genius award. This requires a prone position. If we're lucky, we might drift off, but we won't drift far. Just far enough to ransom our creativity from chaos.” IfsSoulEnoughBodyMightEyeCareNextImaginationSleepCreativityPositionAcceptanceReadyGeniusLuckySpeechSurpriseProfoundChaosRoundsConfusedPrizeAwardsReceivingSoarNobelNapsImprobableNobel PrizeSeparatingProfaneRehearsingRansomSortingSiftingAcceptance SpeechMacarthur Author:Sarah Ban Breathnach

“The idea of safety had shrunk into particles - one snug moment, then the next. Meanwhile, the brain piped fugues of worry and staged mind-theaters full of tragedies and triumphs, because unfortunately, the fear of death does wonders to focus the mind, inspire creativity, and heightens the senses. Trusting one's hunches only seems gamble if one has time for seem; otherwise the brain goes on autopilot and trades the elite craft of analysis for the best rapid insights that float up from its danger files and ancient bag of tricks.” IfsMindDoeIdeasMomentsSeemsNextBrainWonderCreativityWorryFocusDangerInspireGoes OnTragedyTheaterSafetyTradeAncientInsightSensesTricksCraftsTriumphAnalysisBagsElitesFloatsRapidsParticlesFear Of DeathFilesGambleHunchesInspire CreativityFugueAutopilotTragedy And Triumph Author:Diane Ackerman

“In the tangled hierarchy sinner and saint, divine and diabolical, sacred and profane are different faces of our collective Being.
